i am tired of offering free items to people (weather it be on craigs list or so on) and then being asked what sz what color , what does it come with? and so foth and so on. i know it sounds horrible but it is free either take it or dont, if you are asking all of those questions i guess you really dont need or want it, thier are places were somone post wanted and i reply with somthing i have nad you get the same thing ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrr it's free when i have replyed to a free offer i just pick up if i do not want or dont need or the wrong thing i just refreecycle or craiglist it that easy! sorry guys just had to vent for a moment.

Did they not get the memo that beggars can't be choosers? That's almost as bad as giving someone a gift and then be told that they don't want it because it's not what they want. There's no pleasing some people. Just don't bother with giving away freebies, it's not worth the hassle...

i find that people just arnt as thankful as they used to be. the item is free but they are still complaining. i belong to a freecycle here in my city and i hear complaints online too.

I know what you're saying. I put up offers on Freecycle all the time and I try to post the important details of what I am offering - all anyone really needs to know about the item. Yet still, people are asking a bunch of other questions or if they can see a photo of it. I am NOT going to waste my time answering nit-picky questions or take the time to photograph and upload and yada yada just to have them say never mind. And so, priority goes to those who don't ask me questions and are just willing to pick up. Yah, it's annoying, isn't it??? It's free folks, take it or leave it!

Haha yeah people are so picky. I completely agree! It's free take it or leave it stop asking questions because there aren't many free things in the world. Good for you for even giving away something for free. I know I would take it regardless of what it is or if I even need it!
